This Week in Panels: Week 205

August 25th, 2013 by | Tags: , , , ,

Yo! Welcome to a manga-less edition of ThWiP. Due to some kind of big Japanese holiday, Gaijin Dan doesn’t have any ammo, so he’s taking the week off. My backup comes in the form of Matlock and Space Jawa.

I did an article for Den of Geek of Top 25 Comic Characters Who Owe Everything to an Actor’s Portrayal. That was a fun one to write. Too bad it pissed off Reddit. Apparently, they took the “Everything” part a bit too literal. Ah, well. My next list article is bound to piss off even more people. It already got my editor mad for me saying that Popeye is a bad movie.

The best omissions I’ve heard from readers are Josh Pais as movie Raphael, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and maybe Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

Now for comic panels.

Supergirl has been pretty great recently and the cliffhanger, which explains what the deal is with New 52 Cyborg Superman, is interesting as hell.

The new Ducktales Remastered game came out, but I have to wait for a few weeks thanks to the Xbox 360 version being delayed. At least I get this kickass background music for when I’m writing!

Bless me bagpipes!

  1. That Daredevil panel is probably the best Daredevil thing I’ve ever seen. He and Silver Surfer should be best friends forever.


  2. Does that Batman ’66 panel include Caesar Romero’s painted-over mustache? That’s amazing.

    Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, it was this Japanese holiday.
